Being broken isn't always a bad thing.

I was blessed to attend a Women of Faith conference this weekend. I have to say If I could afford I would take every woman I know to this conference with me I would! I left feeling so refreshed and on fire for God. The Holy Spirit was surely at work there!!! To see that many woman come together around one common thing and to see them all praising God together, all ages, sizes, ethnicity's, life experiences, praising God as one body. Praising God through our brokenness. Learning that we can live above our brokenness. God loves us just as we are! No matter how many pieces we've been broken into.

There was such anointing in the worship, by the band and by the performers, Cece Winans, and Selah! It really opened the gates of heaven for the presence of God to come in.

Sheila Walsh spoke with such truth and understanding that God moves in and through, above and because of our brokenness. She helped me to see that even though I may be broken, I am even more moldable by God because of it. He loves me because I am broken and because I lean on him in my brokenness.

Ken Davis made me want to live more fully alive. He helped me to see that there is so much more to life. It is not about me! It is about HIM ^(Christ). and He wants me to live abundantly and the best way to do that is by focusing on him and what he created me for.

Liz Curtis Higgins reminded me that I am beautiful in the sight of God. That in and of itself spoke greatly to myself.

Christine Caine Moved me greatly with how she has allowed God to work and move her above and because of her brokenness. I loved the power that she spoke with! She is truly on fire, I hope to be that on fire (Lord move in me!!!)

Ann Vostkamp spoke so eloquently and beautifully, and straight from the heart. She reminded me to look around and see the love of God that is lavished on us daily.

Angie Smith. She really, really moved me and brought something out of me that I did not know was even still there. She recognized my baby that I have yet to meet, and recognized me and a thousand other women as mother's to these children who went on to heaven before us. But then she brought it back to keeping our eyes open so we don't miss what God is doing even in the midst of our deepest waters.

I can't thank these women enough for all that they sacrifice to touch the lives of us who are blessed to hear them, I can only hope that those who were there will allow all of this to sink in and to now be extended out to someone else who needs to hear how much they are loved, not in spite of their brokenness, but because of it! Thank You WOF!

On the verge.
On the verge of something. Don't know what.
Being being stretched, pulled. It hurts, but I know it WILL be worth it.
Waiting... Trying to wait patiently. Not always succeeding. Trying.
Looking all around, trying to figure it out. Don't see the answer.
Crying, Resting, Looking, Waiting.
Finally Trusting, Waiting Patiently, Still not knowing. But Trusting.
Trusting HIM.
